BLOG: HGCE Aile Strike Gundam – Box Art

Whoever thought of this pose during the production stages of Mobile Suit Gundam SEED is full of awesome.

No one thought back then that there will be an HGCE Aile Strike Gundam, or any Gundam SEED mobile suit to be included in the so-called HGUC numbering scheme. But here it is now, in a box art that perfectly homages that now-iconic pose from the series more than a decade ago.

Based on earlier prototype shots, this version of the Aile Strike now has accurately-colored exposed inner frame parts, especially in the shoulder armors. This solves one of the major hassles the original kit had, at least for casual/busy modelers (this collector included).
